Are you a lawyer?

True Story

[phone rings]

Me: Holy Name Church

Caller: Mr. G____ please

Me: This is Father G______, may I help you?

Caller: This is Anna with the American Bar Association.

Me: Good morning.

Caller: Uh, are you a lawyer?

Me: Yes.

Caller: Oh, well when you said Father G_______ I uh.....

Me: I'm a priest and an attorney.

Caller: [laughs] Isn't that an oxymoron?


Even the ABA seems to hold a dim view of the lawyers (or priests, or both).
